These comparisons keep getting tougher. Phantasy Star is an excellent RPG, and I really like that it is different from the more generic high fantasy story. Sweet Home is a good RPG, but it is a hybrid of two genres and also has a different setting. Both of these games are fairly new to me.Continue reading “Which is Better? Phantasy Star vs Sweet Home”

Destiny of an Emperor and Sweet Home are radically different takes on the RPG genre. Both are unique games, and they don’t play like anything else. That is one of the reasons I like both of them. I’ve played Destiny of an Emperor quite a bit over the years, and it is one of myContinue reading “Which is Better? Destiny of an Emperor vs Sweet Home”
PS II vs DQ II, One of the Best and a Great Sequel
Phantasy Star II and Dragon Quest II are two very good RPGs. Since I’m following these series in order, there will be a few instances where a Genesis or SNES game will be compared to an NES game. This is going to be a problem for the Dragon Quest Series because it had four gamesContinue reading “PS II vs DQ II, One of the Best and a Great Sequel”
Good Idea made Great: Dragon Quest I vs II
This one is going to be a little different. I’m going to be going over the improvements that took place between Dragon Quest I and II.

Dragon Quest II is Much Better than the First Game
Dragon Quest II is a step up from the first game. It is also a game that I really want to like. When I played it a few years ago, I enjoyed most of the game, but I found it frustrating.

Unique vs Traditional: Final Fantasy and Destiny of an Emperor
Dynasty of an Emperor and Final Fantasy are very different approaches to RPGs. One is a standard approach to the genre, and the other is more imaginative.

The First Game in Sega’s Spectacular Phantasy Star Series
The first Phantasy Star game can be rather hard to get into. At the beginning of the game, you’ll need to grind for levels quite a bit before you can do much of anything. This was something I didn’t know when I first played it. I knew about the Phantasy Star series on the SegaContinue reading “The First Game in Sega’s Spectacular Phantasy Star Series”
A Look Back at Final Fantasy on the NES
Final Fantasy on the NES is one of the first RPGs I ever played. When I first started playing it, I had no idea what I was supposed to be doing. I just wandered around getting into random fights and eventually died. I had no idea that I was supposed to buy and equip weaponsContinue reading “A Look Back at Final Fantasy on the NES”
The First Dragon Quest, A Great RPG
Dragon Quest (Dragon Warrior) was one of the first RPGs released for the NES. It is a fun but short game that is still fun to play today.
